Reviews are the one source of information a consumer has to validate online products will do what the seller says they will. On more than one occasion I’ve ignored bad reviews only to receive a product that sucks exactly as described, so I rely pretty heavily on the 1v5 star ratio - which makes me an easy target for…

How about the “MAGAccess Victory Patriot Network” - split the profits 50/50 with ya.

Pretty sure it’s the “Zuck Sucks (but ima still use FaceBook)” GOP.

lol verbally impotent - what a welcome improvement over his current state: verbally incontinent.

“So then we told them we shut down the REvil hackerz. Of course, we are the REvil hackerz.”

You had me at Fucker Carlson. Betting there is no amount of dirt that would *currently* stick to his slimy shell, unfortunately - dude *currently* makes way too much coin for Murdoch and co. Can’t last forever - tides change and he’ll be cast out at some point, once he stops earning. Might be a while though...

I’m not debating whether or not vegetables are good for me, but if someone were mandating that I eat them every day, I’d tell them to back off. Doesn’t mean I’m anti-vegetable.

What if Tucker Carlson didn’t actually know what he was talking about? What if Fox lawyers argued no reasonable viewer would take him seriously, and a federal judge agreed? Would anyone still pay attention to him? I’m just asking the questions...

re: wifi conflict - not hard to zigbee and 2.4 wifi channels from stepping on each other, but definitely takes awareness and control over your setup.

Yep @parkerthon, easy setting in the Hue app - a little trickier pushing that config in Home Assistant but not hard once you figure it out. I think there are a few requirements also - maybe gen2+, doesn’t work for white-only bulbs?

Agree on all accounts. I’ve been in the HA scene for a long time - started with Hue, but quickly wanted a unified hub. Moved to Wink, but it was buggy / limited. Moved to SmartThings, but then Samsung happened - killed the app, device handlers, and I grew to hate the internet / cloud reliance and related outages.…

Just added a few of those new bluetooth bulbs - they work great. Replaced Hue hub with Home Assistant a while back - now my Zigbee mesh includes Hue bulbs/motion sensors/light strips, Axis blinds, Ikea repeaters, and a few GE switches/outlets. Bonus - mesh visual:

Glad to see this - swapped our old Hue BR30s for LIFX in the kitchen because too dim. LIFX are both brighter and produce better colors, at least if you are used to the first-gen Hue (not a fair comparison). But after replacing enough Hue bulbs with LIFX, I’ve realized I’m not a fan of WiFi lighting - my wireless is…

You like tech bills from The Man?

I wish there was a way to ensure Congress understands this stuff before they debate it or vote on it.
